<p>Here's the thing: I might not want to devote my morning hours from 7 - 11 anymore because I feel like the class is a major investment of time and I simply might not have the money for the supplies since I'm kind of strapped for cash at the moment. But you don't really need to know my reasoning, I guess.</p>
<p>I just submitted my transcripts yesterday and they have my application on file with courses I'm supposed to take for this upcoming semester (I am not in school until February). My planned courses. I kind of want to drop it right now, but I am not sure how it would affect my admission. Do I have to contact each individual university and notify them of these changes or what? Do they even care? The class is non-essential to me (it's Ceramics, I'm a math major).</p>
<p>I would get in touch with them first. Are you planning on dropping other classes besides ceramics? I think it depends on if it would effect admissions. Are you a transfer student from a CC? Did you obtain enough units to be considered a junior? Have you already been admitted to a CSU? But I would also consider the type of classes you’ve already taken. Being a math major, it might also look good that you’re willing to take classes for fun, outside of your major, just because you wanted to learn something new. If you get a good grade, it could be in your favor. Are you eligible for financial aid? Maybe you can get money for those supplies!</p>
<p>Yes, contact each college. Yes, they care. For some, it will not be a problem. However, if there is a problem, you could find your admission rescinded. I know someone who was transferring from a CCC to UCD and had his admission rescinded for dropping a non-essential class. He didn’t realize he was dropping below 60 <em>transferable</em> units…he had more than 60 units even after dropping the non-essential class, but didn’t realize that the UC didn’t count some other of his units as non-transferable, thus he was just under the required 60 units then. It was a bit of a shock for him.</p>
<p>So, chances are that it is not a problem for your situation. But if you don’t ask each college, then it is on you if later you are rescinded. Do the footwork now, is my advice.</p>
